a merit poll over the weekend shows the race is razor-tight. mitt romney narrowed the lead to two points. that gp is within the poll's margin of error. unlike in earlier contests, romney is not running up the score among those who already voted. he leads among early voters, 39-35. on sunday, santorum tried to manage, but may be out of hand with expectations. >> it's a tough state for us only because of the fact that with a money disadvantage, we have a great grass roots campaign. it's harder when you have two conservative candidates running in the race. >> in the matchup and our national poll, two places where santorum does better than romney are among republicans in the midwest and republicans with less than a full four-year college education. that's where he should be able to do well. there is no excuse for him to lose at this point. it's ready made for him. since they both start their days in the buckeye state. they made a pitch and they believe they can win. tennessee was full of local flavor. >> this place has a special feeling in my heart
